After 3 months of searching and then another wait for the private plate to come off her, I've finally got my new P&J home.





and she even fits in the garage (phew)

Congrats! Lovely looking car. Tungsten?

Remember you posting pics of your garage a while ago, so great you now have the car to go in it smile

I do like the standard DB9 wheels. Sports Pack wheels don't quite look right to me.

Enjoy biggrin

Yep she's tungsten. Nearly pulled the trigger on a 2006MY Toro Red one. It was a lovely colour in pictures but not quite my cup of tea in real life.

The Sports Pack wheels would make cleaning the callipers easier but I do like the standard ones.

Lovely thumbup I think the clear rear lights make a huge (positive) difference.

Need to take her somewhere nice for a proper photo shoot, until then this will have to do. Along side my daily driver (2.8 V6 Golf 4Motion).

I know its about the cost of building plots but why do builders build garages barely large enough to house a Fiat 500 comfortably??????
Is it why or because people then fill them with overspill from the house!

My mrs works on the presumption that the bigger the garage the more tat she can store. Of the 24 houses in my area, only 1 regularly uses the ( double) garage for their cars. Maybe we are a nation of hoarders and builders know that!

The car looks immaculate, the alloys in particular are gleaming. Good call.
